Chelsea and Crystal Palace have reached a preliminary understanding regarding the temporary transfer of defender Axel Disasi, according to reports from RMC Sport. The two clubs have established a verbal agreement for the 28-year-old to move to Selhurst Park on loan rather than a permanent deal, marking a development in the defender’s future away from Stamford Bridge.
Under the proposed arrangement, Palace would pay a loan fee to secure Disasi’s services for the season. However, the agreement notably does not include a purchase option, which could have provided the south London club with a path to a permanent acquisition. Despite the limitations of the temporary move, negotiations are now proceeding between Palace and Disasi’s representatives to finalize personal terms.
Disasi remains high on Palace’s priority list as the club seeks to strengthen its defensive options following the departure of Maxence Lacroix. The 28-year-old’s move would keep him active in Premier League football rather than spending additional time on Chelsea’s sidelines, where he has struggled to secure consistent opportunities this season.
The defender has three years remaining on his Chelsea contract, providing the Blues with long-term security even with his temporary departure. Final approval from all parties, particularly the player himself, is still required before the loan deal can be formally completed.
